　　：Think it Over

　　Today we have higher buildings and wider highways,but shorter temperaments and narrower points of view;

　　We spend more,but enjoy less;

　　We have bigger houses,but smaller famillies;

　　We have more compromises,but less time;

　　We have more knowledge,but less judgment;

　　We have more medicines,but less health;

　　We have multiplied out possessions,but reduced out values;

　　We talk much,we love only a little,and we hate too much;

　　We reached the Moon and came back,but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors;

　　We have conquered the uter space,but not our inner space;

　　We have highter income,but less morals;

　　These are times with more liberty,but less joy;

　　We have much more food,but less nutrition;

　　These are the days in which it takes two salaries for each home,but divorces increase;

　　These are times of finer houses,but more broken homes;

　　That's why I propose,that as of today;

　　You do not keep anything for a special occasion.because every day that you live is a SPECIAL OCCASION.

　　Search for knowledge,read more ,sit on your porch and admire the view without paying attention to your needs;

　　Spend more time with your family and friends,eat your favorite foods,visit the places you love;

　　Life is a chain of moments of enjoyment;not only about survival;

　　Use your crystal goblets.Do not save your best perfume,and use it every time you feel you want it.

　　Remove from your vocabulary phrases like"one of these days"or "someday";

　　Let's write that letter we thought of writing "one of these days"!

　　Let's tell our families and friends how much we love them;

　　Do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life;

　　Every day,every hour,and every minute is special;

　　And you don't know if it will be your last.

　　今天我們擁有了更高層的樓宇以及更寬闊的公路，但是我們的性情卻更為急躁，眼光也更加狹隘;

　　我們消耗的更多，享受到的卻更少;

　　我們的住房更大了，但我們的家庭卻更小了;

　　我們妥協更多，時間更少;

　　我們擁有了更多的知識，可判斷力卻更差了;

　　我們有了更多的藥品，但健康狀況卻更不如意;

　　我們擁有的財富倍增，但其價值卻減少了;

　　我們說的多了，愛的卻少了，我們的仇恨也更多了;

　　我們可以往返月球，但卻難以邁出一步去親近我們的左鄰右舍;

　　我們可以征服外太空，卻征服不了我們的內心;

　　我們的收入增加了，但我們的道德卻少了;

　　我們的時代更加自由了，但我們擁有的快樂時光卻越來越少;

　　我們有了更多的食物，但所能得到的營養卻越來越少了;

　　現在每個家庭都可以有雙份收入，但離婚的現象越來越多了;

　　現在的住房越來越精緻，但我們也有了更多破碎的家庭;

　　這就是我為什麼要說，讓我們從今天開始;

　　不要將你的東西為了某一個特別的時刻而預留著，因為你生活的每一天都是那麼特別;

　　尋找更我的知識，多讀一些書，坐在你家的前廊裡，以讚美的眼光去享受眼前的風景，不要帶上任何功利的想法;

　　花多點時間和朋友與家人在一起，吃你愛吃的食物，去你想去的地方;

　　生活是一串串的快樂時光;我們不僅僅是為了生存而生存;

　　舉起你的水晶酒杯吧。不要吝嗇灑上你最好的香水，你想用的時候就享用吧!

　　從你的詞彙庫中移去所謂的“有那麼一天”或者“某一天”;

　　曾打算“有那麼一天”去寫的信，就在今天吧!

　　告訴家人和朋友，我們是多麼地愛他們;

　　不要延遲任何可以給你的生活帶來歡笑與快樂的事情;

　　每一天、每一小時、每一分鐘都是那麼特別;

　　你無從知道這是否最後刻。

　　：Self-Awareness

　　The man who is aware of himself is henceforth independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and hrough with profound yet temperate happiness. Healone lives, while other people, slaves of ceremony, let life slip past time in a kind of dream. Once conform ,once do what other people do finer than they do it, and a lethargy steals over all the finer nerves and faculties of the soul, He becomes all outer show and inward emptiness; dull, callous, and indifferent.

　　自我意識

　　--弗吉尼亞.吳爾夫

　　凡是意識到自我的人從今往後才是獨立的;他永遠不知疲倦，他明白生命苦短，所以完全沉浸於深深的而又適度的幸福之中。他獨立生活，而別人是繁文縟節的奴隸，在醉生夢死之中聽從生命悄然流逝。一旦循規蹈矩，一旦人為亦為，呆滯就籠罩著靈魂中一切靈敏的神經和官能。靈魂變得徒有其表，其中空空;遲鈍，木然、冷漠。

　　：Reading Good Books

　　Devote some of your leisure, I repeat, to cultivating a love of reading good books. Fortunate indeed are those who contrive to make themselves genuine book-lovers. For book- lovers have some noteworthy advantages over other people. They need never know lonely hours so long as they have books around them, and the better the books the more delightful the company. From good books, moreover, they draw much besides entertainment. They gain mental food such as few companions can supply. Even while resting from their labors they are, through the books they read, equipping themselves to perform those labors more efficiently. This albeit~ they may not be deliberately reading to improve their mind. All unconsciously the ideas they derive from the printed pages are stored up, to be worked over by the imagination for their future profit.

　　閱讀好書

　　我再說一遍，把你的一部分空閒時光用來培養閱讀好書的愛好吧。那些設法把自己培養成為真正愛好讀書的人，確實是幸運的。因為愛讀書的人比之別人有著明顯的好處。只要手頭有書，他們就從來不知寂寞。書越好，讀來越是津津有味。他們從好書中不但得到樂趣，而且受到很多教益。他們從中獲得的那種精神食糧，從其他地方是很難得到的。即使是在工作休息時，通過讀書，他們的工作效率也能更加提高，儘管他們未必有意識地想到讀書是為了提高才智。在全然不知不覺中，他們從書中吸取的知識積累起來，經過想想象力的加工，對將來大有用處。
